“Professional chefs are artisans, experts at creating practical goods in the highest form. Artisans are craftsman, people who do skilled work of ordinary items. Artisans consistently satisfy multiple people, with repeated production of the same items. These are the chefs, who I admire, the craftsman.” - Peter Merriman

Our Story

Our restaurants are driven by a deep dedication to the art of craft. Beyond just describing how things are made, “crafted” can also refer to a desire to do something well, through a very personal kind of work. The craftsman is proud of their work, and cherishes their creation. This kind of pride can be infectious and as a company we want to imbue our employees, communities, and customers with this spirit. Even people who never meet the craftsman or have never handcrafted anything themselves can recognize the depth, skill, and effort embodied in well-crafted objects, whether that means surfboards, canoes, motorcycles, beer, or food.
